While pursuing fine art at the University of Montevallo, Scott Owen began an apprenticeship to a sign maker in nearby Birmingham, Alabama. This led Scott to seeking out the finest sign artisans in the country and learning all there was to know about the art of sign making from the communicative arts, typography and composition to the art of gold leaf, glass etching and wood carving. He followed well known craftsman across the country seeking knowledge and developing skills as well his own personal style. His work has led to articles in international publications and numerous awards.
After many years and success as a sign artist…new technologies and customer expectations began to leave him un-inspired. In 2009, he picked up a brush, paint and canvas and found the freedom he craved!
